GBP/USD stands above the rest right now but with one exception
As the EUR/USD regathers its poise and recovers a fall to 1.13 on the Trump Truth Social Salvo earlier this afternoon, the GBP/USD has just now lifted to a new 2025 high. Granted it did come a little unstuck when the EUR/USD slid, but as soon as that has rebounded, the Pound has outperformed the Euro versus the dollar and lifted to above 1.3530. That rise endorses what was said here earlier about the relative trade positions with the UK and the EU versus the US. So, as the headline suggests, the Pound is standing above its peers right now, but with one notable exception and that is the Yen. The USD/JPY is still close to session lows, as the GBP/USD just now trades at 1.3528
